Trivia

Season Three is the first season to be broken up into multiple volumes. The original plan for Season Two was to have it broken into three volumes, but that plan was changed due to the writers strike of 2007. However, Season One, Season Two, and Season Three featured the opening scene of the next volume.

Volume Four is the only volume with no "dark future" that the characters try to prevent.
